It begins by discussing similar ‘stay- behind’ operations in Europe in this era and the conditions that led US officials to develop one in Iran. It then explains what this stay-behind operation consisted of and why US officials eventually abandoned it. The paper concludes with a discussion of how the stay-behind operation in Iran differed from those in Europe and the important role it played in the decision-making that led to the 1953 coup in Iran. Introduction On 2 August 1951, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) approved a plan to develop ‘stay- behind’ capabilities in Iran in cooperation with the Qashqai tribal confederation, which was based in south-central Iran, around Shiraz.

  • Crampton. Albert M 1948-1953
    Albert M. Crampton 1948-1953 © Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission Image courtesy of the Illinois Supreme Court Albert M. Crampton was born in Moline, Rock Island County, Illinois on January 7, 1900. His family was from a town in Henry County, Illinois that was named Crampton after his grandfather, a pioneer settler. His father, George W. Crampton was born and raised on the Crampton farm and moved to Moline as a young man to work for Deere & Mansure. He worked for John Deere for over fifty years and became an executive of the company.1 Judge Crampton attended high school in Moline and studied law at Cornell University, the University of Wisconsin, and Harvard. He was admitted to the bar of Illinois in 1923 and began practicing law that year in Moline. He married Josephine Von Maur, the daughter of a merchant from Davenport, Iowa, and they became the parents of four children: Gertrude, Kathryn, George, and Charles Albert. Crampton was a very active citizen of Moline—socially, civically and professionally— throughout his career. He chaired the executive committee of the Rock Island County Bar Association from 1927-28 then served as vice president in 1930 and president from 1945-46.2 In a memorial to Crampton, Walter J. Klockau explained that his participation in civic affairs was so extensive that he would only list a few to show the variety of his engagements, which included “service as past commander of the Moline Post, American Legion; judge advocate of 2 the 14th district of the Legion; former treasurer Bethany Home orphanage of Rock Island; trustee of Moline high school students’ aid fund; trustee of Moline Field House Association; and director, legal counsel and treasurer of the Moline Area Boy Scouts of America.

  • U.S. Perceptions of the Communist Threat in Iran During the Mossadegh Era
    U.S. Perceptions of the Communist Threat in Iran during the Mossadegh Era ✣ Mark J. Gasiorowski Introduction Most accounts of the coup backed by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) against Iranian Prime Minister Muhammad Mossadegh in August 1953 argue that U.S. policymakers undertook this fateful action at least partly be- cause they feared Iran’s Communist Tudeh Party might soon seize power and turn the country into a Soviet client state. The Soviet Union had demon- strated its interest in Iran during the 1945–1946 Azerbaijan crisis, when it fo- mented powerful separatist movements in northwestern Iran. The Tudeh had become quite powerful by this time and supported the Soviet-backed move- ments. The subsequent collapse of these movements weakened the Tudeh, but it remained the strongest party in Iran and a firm ally of the Soviet Union in the early 1950s. As Mossadegh’s coalition began to fragment in late 1952, many U.S. officials believed he would become increasingly dependent on the Tudeh, enabling it eventually to seize power. In the tense Cold War climate that prevailed at the time, this outcome was unacceptable to U.S. policymak- ers and led them to undertake the coup.1 1. This argument is made especially in the CIA’s three in-house histories of the coup: Donald N. Wilber, Overthrow of Premier Mossadeq of Iran, November 1952–August 1953 (Langley, VA: CIA, March 1954); The Battle for Iran (Langley, VA: CIA, n.d.); and Scott A. Koch, “Zendebad, Shah!”: The Central Intelligence Agency and the Fall of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq, August 1953 (Washington, DC: CIA History Staff, June 1998).
